Treasure Hunt looks quite powerful in decks with low land counts. Checking a couple TPS decks, looks like many of them run as little as 12-13 lands.

Read it again. It stops when it hits a NONland, so you want to have a lot of lands on top. You're never gonna get more than one spell from it. |

I could see Treasure Hunt being pretty good in a Landstill Deck. 43land.dec in Legacy might pick it up too.

QFT. Thsi is a Legacy card, not a Vintage card (except Landstill), and might not be good enough in that format either except in very specialized decks. Mostly, i think it will be good to excellent in standard if there is a viable control deck that really needs to avoid Flood in the late game. |

4 Treasure Hunt
1 Seismic Assault
55 lands
ho ho ho!
The only problem is that it's not necessarily faster than Countryside Crusher.dec. But what about this?! 4 Treasure Hunt 4 Countryside Crusher1 Seismic Assault 51 Lands Countryside Crusher.dec with a combo win?!?! OMG Treasure Hunt is the best ever. |

Damn, better ban it, that looks way too good... More seriously, Treasure Hunt looks pretty good in 43 Lands in Legacy. |

Thada Adel, Acquisitor 1  Legendary Creature - Merfolk Rogue (rare) Islandwalk Whenever Thada Adel, Acquisitor deals combat damage to a player, search that player's library for an artifact card and exile it. Then that player shuffles his or her library. Until end of turn, you may play that card. 2/2 Well, that's brutal against time vault and tinker targets... |

Why do you make this continue? You could have made it cost two blue mana and just been done with it. You could have ended it. And yet... You make it three mana. It wouldn't have been too good at two mana. It just would have been good. Like Dark Confidant good. Maybe better. But only in Vintage, without ruining any other formats. And it would have been played in every fish deck regardless of whether or not Time Vault saw play. Like Confidant or Tarmogoyf. And it could have made Time Vault a liability. It could have made it dangerous to rely on Time Vault. You could have ended the madness right there in one printing without any negative repercussions in any other format. But you didn't. You made it three mana. Why did you make it three mana? WHY WON'T YOU END THE MADNESS?!?! |

You just play the card as normal, except from a different zone - you still have to pay the mana cost (and any other costs). Total Vault hate, though. |

Sure it hates time vault, but now noone can play ANY artifact based drain deck.
I'm not a fan

At three mana it's not better than Quasali Pridemage at stopping Time Vault and it can't consistently hit before Tinker can be played. It's still a decent card, but I doubt it will punish any such artifact strategies enough to invalidate them to any degree. It's even possible that it's best use will be in the Time Vault mirror as a game breaker. |

To me, it seems better than pridemage. with pridemage, I can simply not play time vault until i've dealt with him. This guy is going to get my vault regardless, and I can't even block him. Plus, its likely he'd be put down turn 2 with help from a mox. I'm going to hope he's not too good, but it seems pretty big |

It can still exile the Tinker target permanently: you don't have to play the artifact to make this useful. |

I'm going to hope he's not too good, but it seems pretty big Pridemage is a mana cheaper to cast and deals with Vault when Vault is hand, while Thada (should be Thadeus lol) can only deal with Vault before it is tutored for or drawn. Pridemage can also be ready to stop Vault the turn he comes into play. There are a ton of factors to consider, like Thada getting Black Lotus or dropping enemy Juggernauts (lol), so you may be right, and this card may end up being really, really good. I hope that is the case because I think it would make Vintage more interesting. |

Such a great idea, too. It's like they're teasing us. |

Phyrexian Negator to be reprinted in Phyrexia vs. the Coalition?Reserved list implications potentially?
There was a lot of discussion on something other than Rumors/previews, which has now been split into its own topic.

Eye of Ugin – Worldwake mythic rare. (EDIT: Colorless Eldrazi spells cost 2 less to play) Eye of Ugin was predicted way back in Future Sight (or should that be "will be predicted"?) in Ghostfire's flavor text: "Only those gifted with the eye of Ugin, the spirit dragon, can see his fiery breath."

From Card of the Day at MTG.com I guess I don't see how this is a rumor or preview? Ghostfire was a colorless spell that costed 2R and did 3 damage to something. This Eye of Ugin will help spells that are colorless, but not neccessaryily artifacts. That seemed interesting to me. |
